摘要
Concentrations of toxic metals (Hg, Pb, and Cd) were determined in the muscles of Lepomis macrochirus, Barbus callensis, and Barbus nasus caught from the Moulouya River of Morocco by graphite furnace (for Pb and Cd) and cold vapour (for Hg) atomic absorption spectrometry, after acid digestion. Although the concentration of metals in some species was relatively high, no health risk has been identified in comparison to the maximum limits as set by the European Commission. The order of increasing concentrations was Cd < Hg < Pb. Calculated Target Hazard Quotients and Hazard Indices were below 1, indicating that the intake of metals via consumption of the muscles of both fish species does not represent a hazard to human health.
